In a shocking incident, a 27-year-old man, G Bharath Kumar, lost his life after being pushed out of a moving bus near Srikakulam by two people over a fare dispute. The incident took place on 3 May 2023, as Bharath was travelling from Srikakulam on a Bhubneshwar to Visakhapatnam private bus.

According to the police investigation, the assistant driver, B Appanna, asked Bharath to pay the fare of 200 rupees. Bharath told Appanna that his friends would make an online payment after reaching Visakhapatnam, but when they didn’t, Appanna and the driver, K Ramakrishna, had an argument with him over the fare.
